I just picked up the car about a month and a half ago. It's a 2005 with only 12,500 miles. Perfect condition, not a scratch on it and the interior has been kept very clean. I absolutely love the car.

This has been my first of many changes to the car, other than getting it tinted.

Sound upgrades
Stage 2 - Aftermarket navigation and front stage speakers
Stage 3 - Upgrading all the amps, adding a full EQ, running everything active.

Not sure on performance upgrades yet but I'm looking to do something big next summer.

The only body upgrade I'm looking to do is get a new grill with the emblem on it. I've looked around a little and nothing special has caught my eye yet. If you know of a grill that looks great on the silver AMG let me know!

Thank you, Jturkel.
My parents have a house down in Scottsdale and I go to ASU, great place to live man.

I don't know how many audio nuts we have on this forum, but the daytons sound great. Very punchy, clean, and in this box low bass. I wish I had a little better signal coming from the factory headunit.. they we could push the amp a little harder.

awesome! i just graduated from U of A and will be in scottsdale all yr. currently taking a summer school class (not really, its an MCAT class) at ASU over on Mill near Bisonwiches. that means you'll have to come out to the bars and hang out with me and Hooleyboy (he's got a s/c'ed C55) some time so we can check out your setup! beers on me!

yah, i'm really not an audio nut. i don't really know much about that kinda stuff to be honest. i'm more into the performance stuff now. when i recoup some money after spending thousands on performance parts, i'll perhaps look into aesthetics and sound. i would definitely like to upgrade the base and some speakers.

Sorry to revive an old thread, did you add the sub with the factory head unit? Couldn't tell how you did it. If you did use the factory nav head unit, could you please explain how you installed your amp and sub? Thanks!
